"It's a helluva thing killing a man. You take away everything he's got and everything he's ever gonna have."
One of my favorite lines of all time.
"Yeah, well... I guess they had it comin'."
"We all have it comin', kid."
I've watched a couple of reactions to Unforgiven and no-one has included that famous line. I guess they missed the importance of it in the theme of the movie. The movie is a deconstruction of the Western, replacing the mythology of the gunslinger and how great it would be to be your own law by carrying guns with the reality that killing someone ruins a person's psyche. A killer can become a psychopath like the sheriff who revels in power and cruelty or a drunk who drinks to forget and later a wreck of a man regretting all the past killings. I rate the movie a 10...the acting, beautiful compositions and great storytelling and theme make it a classic. Cracking jokes during a drama like this breaks the mood, I wish viewers would refrain from doing that.
It's a meaningful thing killing a man. You pay him back for everything he's done and stop him ever doing it again.
that quote in the OP isn't exactly accurate (though it is still a great quote)
""It's a helluva thing killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."
I know it sounds pedantic, but it is adding 3 syllables each at two different spots in the line...changes the cadence and rhythm of the line itself. Just pointing that out.
"Well he should've armed himself, if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."
This movie is so badass.
Exactly 💯
"You better bury Ned right. Better not cut up or otherwise harm any whores. Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons-a-bitchs." Most awesome finishing line I've ever heard.
I was waiting for that line and they edited it out. Best line of the movie!
@@mumbles215
The only line that rivals it is from Quigley Down Under. When Elliot Marsden and his two ranch hands set Quigley up for a duel and Quigley shoots all 3 of them, he walks up to Marsden, who is laying on the ground dying, and says "I said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it." You know it's a kick-ass line when the bad guy dies with a smile on his face. If you haven't seen that movie I strongly suggest it. You will not be disappointed. Just like Unforgiven, it's a modern western. It's got a little lite humor in it, so it's not just like the Eastwood classic, but in no way a disappointment.
The outlaw Josey Wales, best revenge western ever, hands up not down. Clint the man
Crazy fact about the film.
When Clint Eastwood first read the script he turned the role down cause he was too young but he loved it so much he bought the rights to the movie and held onto it for over 20 years until he felt old enough to play the role. Now that's dedication
Well, almost. The script (The William Munny Killings) was written 1976.
Wish he would've bought the rights to The Dark Tower
@@donkfail1 Came out in the 92, so that's 16 years...close enough.
The OP is Simply, totally incorrect and this is totally inaccurate. IT has nothing to do with dedication.
From Clint himself in 2014
" I guess that's why when I got (the script for) "Unforgiven" in the early '80s I put it in a drawer for 10 years, I'd done a bunch of Westerns, I thought I should do some other things first. Then 10 years later I picked it up and re-read it and it felt fresh... But a good story is a good story, you can't be afraid of it. Hell, you can't be an actor in the first place if you're afraid. You can't be afraid of failure, can't be afraid of falling on your face. It's all a crapshoot, anyway."
Clint claimed to be sick of westerns (but then did Pale Rider in 84)
The "William Munny Killings" or "Cut Whore Killings or "Cut Teat Whores" was written in 1976 by David Webb Peoples, but Eastwood did not read it in the early 80s because his longtime production associate and friend, Sonia Chernus, who had helped adapt the screenplay for The Outlaw Josey Wales), read The Cut-Whore Killings and was horrified. She wrote a company memo to Eastwood, regarding optioning the script and said "We would have been far better off not to have accepted trash like this piece of inferior work ... I can't think of one good thing to say about it. Except maybe, get rid of it FAST."
Eastwood did not even read it, and Francis Ford COppola optioned the screenplay in the early 1980s, but couldn't get it financed. When Coppola's option on the script expired in 1985, after Pale Ride, Clint Eastwood picked it up and finally read it and optioned it ... then kept it for 5 years, secured his financing from Warner Brothers for "Unforgiven" and they began filming in 1991.
So OP, not trying to be mean to you, but that is the real story, not the one you stated.
@@USCFlash Nice. Thank you for sharing this information. Great read.
Hmm... USC Flash. Proud Trojan? Or just a fan?
*Gene Hackman* is _hands down_ one of *_the best_* actors of all time!
@@flounder
There are too many to name... *_Hoosiers...The Conversation...Young Frankenstein..._*
But perhaps his greatest was that of *_Popeye Doyle_** in The French Connection!*
@@mbgrafix
Bonnie and Clyde
@@DSmith264
Too many to name! 😉
You missed lex Luther...the greatest criminal mind of our time
@@mbgrafix And The French Connection WON for best pic so you guys better have it on your list. Also extra bonuses are Roy Scheider (Jaws) is in it AND it's directed by the great William Friedkin (remember The Exorcist boys). The French Connection is probably the most real cop movie ever hence its win.
Gene Hackman was absolutely brilliant in this. His character was so complex.
Yes. Unfortunately, he kept playing variations of this character from here own in too many occasions. When he was on, he was spectacular, but he could also just fall back on type from time to time. And yet even then he was just so good...
@@Dacre1000 Hackman frankly just kept doing the angry yelling white guy way too much for my taste. It's too bad he retired from acting. I would have loved to see him do at least one film with Samuel L. Jackson called "Two Angry Men" with the two of them just yelling and screaming profanities throughout since they both have the market cornered on that aspect of acting.
@@alucard624 “angry yelling white guy.” Nice racism, kid- love how you generalize and subsume his character into his race. Don’t do that, k? If you need help to overcome your racism, I suggest psychotherapy.
Hey guys, glad you liked it! One thing I want to point out is that at this point in film, Hollywood westerns were usually not subversive by any means. There were films like The Wild Bunch and the Dollars trilogy (the latter starring Eastwood of course) but they were few and far between. This film is important because it essentially flips the western genre on its head. The gunfights are sloppy, the villain is the most honest character in the film, and the protagonist is an old sad murderer. Everything in the film, like you guys kind of pointed out, is an inversion of or subversion of western tropes that Clint Eastwood himself helped establish in the 60s and 70s with the western films he starred in during those times. After this film came out, it basically kickstarted the "new western" or "anti-western" genres and a bunch of directors followed suit and I actually think that nowadays, it's impossible to find a western coming out that doesn't share Unforgiven's cynical and dark tone.
Well said.
Well, not really. In his films with Leone and in his own films, after he left the traditional TV Western Rawhide, Eastwood was working against the old tropes and establishing the newer anti-hero ones that were being seen across all genres. These, of course, weren’t even completely new, as the better Westerns had always had complex heroes.
@@jeffreynolin9339 You're correct. I even tried stating that there were already movies similar to Unforgiven (Like Clint's work with Leone or movies like The Wild Bunch). Plus there was Blood Meridian (which is a book but still).
@@clintonr.6581 There had been westerns subverting the genre for decades and not just Leone spaghetti westerns and The Wild Bunch. Lots of the most famous and critically acclaimed westerns had been doing it since the 50s. I would recommend looking up 'revisionist western' for starters. Lots of interesting stuff to learn about the subject.
@@bloodofmyenemies When I mentioned Leone's westerns and and The Wild Bunch, I didn't say those were the ONLY subversive Westerns before Unforgiven. There were movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales, Django (original), and a few others of course. These films are of course subversive but I don't really think they take the bold stance that Unforgiven took where every single thing in the film is juxtaposed against western film tropes.
You NEED to react the the Man with no Name Trilogy:
A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
For a Few Dollars More (1965)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966)
I watch these films each year. Love it.
But only after they react to Yojimbo. (And hell, Sanjuro too.)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - the best from the three.
How about PALE RIDER?
If you only watch one more Clint Eastwood western it has to be The Outlaw Josey Wales. It is a cinematic epic. Possibly the best Western of all time.
Totally agree.
Josey Wales is so good. Great actors all around in that movie as well.
For sure. Great actors with some of the best/most-quotable dialogue ever.
If you watch it you need to get someone to give you a little background to the start of the film, basically a brief overview Missouri/Kansas border wars. It will definitely help you understand the very beginning of the movie
Damn fine film!
Like someone else mentioned earlier in the comments, Clint Eastwoods “The Outlaw Josey Wales’ is a must watch. The cinematography, the dialog, the acting, all top notch. Another great western is ‘Tombstone’, with Kurt Russell and an all star cast., It should have won some awards, especially Val Kilmer for best actor.
"Notice when you get to 'disliking' people they aren't around long Either"😉👍
Josey Wales is also a damn good western. 100% agreed.
Also Silverado
The Dollar trilogy( For a Few Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and technically The Good The Bad and The Ugly) are also good westerns to watch
Agree w/both Josey wales & Tombstone. Val Kilmer was awesome in Tombstone. Made the movie for me. And Josey Wales I think is the second best western in the Eastwood collection. "Appaloosa" is a lesser known western but pretty good as well. That one stars Viggo Mortensen & Ed Harris.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has to be the next western on this channel. What a masterpiece
The theatrical version though. The newer extra scenes while interesting, add nothing for me.
Dont you think that it would be better experience, after being more mature wiewer of western theme ? You really would like that first ,being that there is just so many themes in there
Perhaps
Getting all the tropes first meaning of White, Gray or Black hats .. What guns to use and where ( debate ) . And of course distinct feature where bad guys (always) where spurs.. Because they like torture theyre horses, while kicking them with those spikes...And so on
It's a good movie but it has an entire boring section about the civil war that has no bearing on the main characters. They're literally just watching it happen. They could have just cut that whole piece out. It really does harm the movie, but it's still a good one overall
@@leebrandt8597 I loved that sequence lmao
Eli Wallach is priceless
One really brilliant and subtle thing about this movie is that the title refers to every single character in some way.
Not Sally Two Trees
“Use every man according to his desert and who should 'scape whipping?" (Hamlet)
@@mimikurtz4061 nice reference. very nice.
But the original script title was "The William Munny Killings". They definitely changed it to something better.
Of course, because "deserve's got nothing to do with it."
In my opinion, Unforgiven and The Outlaw Jose Wales are the two best Western revenge movies ever made.
i would put once upon a time in the west up there too
If you think either of those two films are about revenge, you've clearly missed the point of both.
They are both redemption stories, not revenge stories.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 Unforgiven is about how its impossible to be redeemed.
Gene Hackman's one of the greatest actors of all time. This film's full of great acting.
They really need to see Crimson Tide
@@nonenone3257 ...that, "Hoosiers" and "The French Connection." I've never seen Gene Hackman in any role that I didn't absolutely believe him in. He is so underrated.
@@757GLG French Connection 1 and 2 back to back one hour reaction video. Hell yes.
@@nonenone3257 Fuck yeah, 'Crimson Tide' is one hell of a ride.
For absolute top Hackman, The Conversation.
My absolute favorite exchange in this entire movie...
Will: It’s a hell of a thing killin a man...you take away everything he’s got and everything he’s ever going to have
Kid: yeah well I guess they had it comin
Will: We all got it comin kid
Thanks for the reaction guys I remember seeing this when it first came out ...we saw at opening weekend and the theater was absolutely packed.
If you wanna check out another Clint western my absolute favorite of all time is Pale Rider from 1985
The thing is, Ned and the first cowboy killed were innocent and were murdered. It never stops bothering me that those two deaths were so early and undeserved
Other top westerns ya gotta do: "The Wild Bunch," "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," "Once Upon a Time in the West," and "Open Range."
Wild Bunch. Hell yeah
The guys should review open range if they wanna do another western. The story and acting are brilliant and the gun fights are brutal
I would kill to see them react to Once Upon a Time in the West.
@@Teabagsforlife Love the cinematography so much.
Open Range and Wild Bunch are two of my favorites
Amazing movie. Clint Eastwood made no attempt to glorify the time or period, which is remarkable considering that’s kind of what he did throughout his career. The kid is basically how everyone views the Wild West, with mystique and a romantic outlook, when in fact it was a brutal time full of brutal men.
you should watch plae rider... another of his later westerns where is ALSO downplays the image..
The script for "Unforgiven" had actually been around for nearly 20 years. When Eastwood first read it, he wanted to direct it but he waited until he was old enough to play the role of William Munny-- and it's all the more better for it. Yea, to fully appreciate this film, you need to be familiar with westerns that came before it.
"Unforgiven" is primarily concerned with deconstructing the morally black-and-white vision of the American West that was established by traditional works in the genre, as David Webb Peoples’ script is saturated with unnerving reminders of Munny’s own horrific past as a murderer and gunfighter haunted by the lives he's taken, while the film as a whole "reflects a reverse image of classical Western tropes": the protagonists, rather than avenging a God-fearing innocent, are hired to collect a bounty for a group of prostitutes. Men who claim to be fearless killers are either exposed as cowards and weaklings or self-promoting liars, while others find that they no longer have it in them to take another life. A writer with no conception of the harshness and cruelty of frontier life publishes stories that glorify common criminals as infallible men of honor. The law is represented by a pitiless and cynical former gunslinger whose idea of justice is often swift and without mercy, and while the main protagonist initially tries to resist his violent impulses, the murder of his friend drives him to become the same cold-blooded killer he once was, suggesting that a Western hero is not necessarily "the good guy", but rather "just the one who survived".
🔥 🔥
At the end of the ending credits you see "For Sergio and Don." Sergio is Sergio Leone who directed Eastwood in the 'Dollars' trilogy (including The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) and Don is Don Siegel, who directed Eastwood in such films as Dirty Harry, The Beguiled, and Escape From Alcatraz. Eastwood considered them both his mentors.
Very good comment
There's a distinctly existential dimension to this film-- all the talk of death and worms, (not a beatific vision of his wife like he wants to believe in and wants his children to believe.) She's just gone. There's no one out there who can forgive him, so he remains unforgiven.
I watched all of Clint Eastwood’s westerns with my Dad growing up. He has dementia now and can’t enjoy them like he used to, but I’m glad you young guys enjoyed this one. Great video!
Oh and two of my favorite westerns are Tombstone and Maverick, my dad loved John Wayne so give Rooster Cognburn and look for him some time.
Easily Eastwood's best western. Probably one of the best of all time. Another great western: Sergio Leone's Once Upon the Time in the West, with a classic turn by Henry Fonda as a ruthless assassin, but with Leone's deliberate European story telling style. The pace of a slow burning fuse that leads to a box of nitro glycerin.
Glad you mentioned Once Upon a Time in the West! Such an underrated film. You can also see how much of an influence it had on Quentin Tarantino.
I agree 100%. "Once upon a time in the west" is the GOAT western in my opinion.
The music, cinematography and story support one another better than in any film ever made. It is the greatest film of all time.
Once Upon a Time in the West is easily the greatest western ever, and one of the best films, of any type, of all time.
'The Magnificent Seven' is one of my fave Westerns.
High Plains Drifter is still my favorite anti-hero western with Eastwood.
I'm not a Western guy but I LOVE 3:10 to Yuma starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.
Ever watch the original 3:10 to Yuma? The Christian Bale one is a remake.
@@Kladyos I believe I did and I am aware of the big difference at the end. I actually think the remake's ending is superior which is unusual for a remake.
Another really good "modern" day western is Silverado, 1985, all star cast, Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Kevin Klien, Danny Glover and many more. Its credited with bringing back the western genre though only for a short period of time
Love Open Range as well.
Still love that flick, as well as Pale Rider.
1985, what a year.
@@chefskiss6179 yup, me too, Pale Rider was great, I wish they'd start making westerns again
Silverado is still one of my favorite films. Characters aren’t as complex as the ones you find in Unforgiven but the writing is so damn good. I’m a big fan of banter and quips and Silverado is just so quotable.
Gran Torino needs to be watched 👍
Open Range with Kevin Costner is another cool Western. the shootout at the end is brutal. And Johnny Depp in Dead Man, a "psychedelic western" is really great as well.
I just want to boost this. Open Range is one of the best of the later Westerns. Brilliant dialogue and some heartfelt performances, much like Unforgiven. I also recommend Seraphim Falls, it's basically a Western chase movie.
Another vote for Open Range. Beautiful scenery, tremendous performances by Costner and Robert Duvall. 👍🏻
@@Steve_Blackwood both shot in southern Alberta, Canada. Interstellar and Superman farm scenes were also from this part of the world.
And Wyatt Earp.
That one is a really slow burn but as a complete movie, it's an excellent Western for sure.
"Skinny", the guy who owned the saloon, was played by the late, great character actor, Anthony James. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. James a few years ago. He was very approachable and we had a fairly long conversation about his movie roles, which also included "Ralph" the guy who ran the diner in "The Heat of the Night". He had kind words for me, when I recounted my long ago hope to become an actor myself. He was also a poet and a painter. Anthony played alongside Clint in "High Plains Drifter". and in one of the "Naked Gun" films.
I think Hell or High Water is a modern masterpiece in the Western genre.
Very much so
Stop by sometime. Maybe I will give you peace….epic movie.
Unforgiven is the best western of the 90s and one of the best westerns of all time in my top five
The most badass line in the movie was "well, he shoulda armed himself if he was gonna decorate his store with my friend." Little Bill used English Bob to send a message to "all them assassins out there".
"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend"
OooOooOoo yes!!! I love this film so much! Great direction, writing, and acting. The scene with the kid talking at the base of the tree, drinking gives me chills every time.
Jaimz Woolvet is sort of forgotten among the mega-stars in this film, but he gave an amazing performance. I will never forget that scene under the tree. Honestly I thought he was going to have a huge career after this film.
I'm very relieved to see you liked this movie and even more surprised to hear that Tom loves westerns. I love this movie and I am a young female but, as you said, it is slow paced and this has genre hasn't been popular amongst young people for several decades. That's how you can tell you're a real movie buff, if you can enjoy movies from all genres, decades and countries 😉
Well said
I LOVE how this movie debunks and demystifies the myth of the gunfighter and then in the end COMPLETELY resurrects it!!
This is a top 10 movie for me. The scene where Little Sue settles up with Will and she tells him about Ned is one of the most terrifying ever. Will Munny's reemergence was complete. All he needed was a personal tragedy to snap him out of his stupor. And Bill Dagget was frightening in a different way. "But that didn't scare Little Bill, did it?" "No sir."
"Tombstone" is my favorite modern western after "Unforgiven". There's a lot more action and it's faster paced. You guys should give it a watch if possible.
Yes
I loved that one!
"I'm your huckleberry"
One of the best movies of all time, rewards repeat viewings. So many quotable lines and scenes. Gene Hackman is a beast in this, and his acting made Little Bill one of cinemas best villians.
I think Eastwood’s character was trying the whole movie to atone for the awful things he’d done in the past, and tried to be a new person. But when they killed Ned he was so angry he just said the hell with it and embraced the darkness he’d tried to get away from. When he took the whiskey bottle from the kid, it was all over.
In the end, William Money was the angel of death, riding off on his pale horse. The imagery in this movie was epic.
For me, I think this will always be the last of the great Westerns. Others have come since. But this is the last of a man who was once apart of the golden era of the Cowboy films. Clint gave us a masterpiece.
A very underrated western though would be Open Range (2003), Robert Duvall, I say again Robert Duvall and I say again Robert Duvall. Kevin Costner also stars and directs. And Robert Duvall is in it.

High Plains Drifter is one of my favorite Eastwood westerns.
Another must see western is "Lonesome Dove", the widescreen theatrical version. It's about 6 and a half hours long but it's definitely a landmark western based upon a Pulitzer Prize winning novel. It debuted on American television, but was always intended for theatrical release in a widescreen format.
The Unforgiven is one if my favourite westerns. There are many out there worth exploring.
Once upon a time in the west, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, the outlaw jose Wales, Winchester 73, soldier blue, little big man, are all some of my favourites, which don't all follow the "typical " western narrative.
Winchester 73 made me a jimmy stewart fan.
"We've all got it coming kid." My favorite line in the whole movie. It's so true!
I remember seeing this in the theater and walking out thinking they should never make another Western again...how do you top this?
Oh, my God. I've never been this early, a new record. 😂 I honestly love this movie so much😍
Forget the Italian stuff until you've seen Josey Wales. Orson Welles said if it wasn't for Clint Eastwood's reputation as an action star (at the time), Josey Wales would have been hailed as a masterpiece. It's a great, great movie. You two will love it.
Thanks guys it was a nice trip down memory lane. I was lucky enough to be the Assistant Prop Master on the film. My wife was Nominated for an Oscar for Decorating the sets. Two other westerns I have done are "Open Range" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". Roger Deakins Cinematography in Jesse James is a study in light in nature. Keep supporting great cinema.
Bone Tomahawk is an intense horror/western with Kurt Russell.
There's one scene in it that one that still haunts me. I'm sure you know the one if you're a guy.
@Debirumania I never saw Terrifier but I did see 'Art The Clown'.
“It’s a helluva thing killin a man, you take everything he’s got, and everything he’ll ever have.”
I love this friggin movie so much!!
From one of the scariest monologues ever about burying Ned, killing their families, etc. to one of the sweetest love story and ending songs ever. She tamed the Beast.
Next on your list: “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”, “The Magnificent Seven” (original), “Silverado”, and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”
The Coen's Brother's remake of "True Grit" (2010) and "Bone Tomahawk" (2015) are two more modern westerns that are must-watch for the genre.
True Grit is so good. That little girl killed it in her role, especially considering the co-star talent around her.
One of Eastwood's best films. Hands down. As for the scenery, the film was made in Alberta, Canada. It's beautiful country.
A critic at the time called it a "feel-bad western" and went on to say "This movie doesn't have good guys and bad guys; it has bad guys and worse guys."
6:56 "And 10 points to Gryffindor" lmao 🤣😆... Having watched Unforgiven as a kid (long time before Harry Potter's first film) I never made the connection until much later. Richard Harris is such a legend.
Mystic River is a fantastic Clint Eastwood film (as director), with a great cast, and a very heavy story.
Yes! Haven't seen it reacted to yet.
Hope you react to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Newman and Redford did a great job in this film.
Would say the most unique film Clint ever did is "Letter's From Iwo Jima". In 2006 he did two films about the battle against the Japanese in WWII, one film from the American perspective, one from the Japanese. "Letter's From Iwo Jima" was directed by him and had an entirely Japanese cast, it's all subtitled. It's such a departure from his Dirty Harry, Unforgiven character. Would be interesting seeing two Brits, react to an American director, commenting on WWII against the Japanese from Japans perspective..
One aspect of this movie I've always loved is that in order for the hero of the story to complete his journey you need him to abandon his attempt at being a good man.
Eastwood's character is doing his best to stay sober, follow the law, respect his wife's memory, and raise his kids...and he's a shell of himself. He can't shoot, can't ride a horse, gets sick in the rain, gets beat up...it's tough to see him like this.
By the end of the movie, he shoots everyone, rides with ease, stares down a potential lynch mob in the rain, and gets revenge on the man who beat him up and killed his best friend.
It's a hell of a way to show a character arc.
Now, I recommend every western Clint Eastwood was ever in. You definitely shouldn't miss High Plains Drifter(1973), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and Pale Rider(1985). These were all directed by and starred Eastwood along with Unforgiven.
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976) is worth checking out if you like Eastwood Westerns. It's almost like watching a younger version of William Munny.
This film was released when i was 12 years old and now in my 41 years old i still love this classic. One of the greatest movies ever made Unforgiven directed by Clint Eastwood starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris. This film won an Oscar for best picture, best director for Clint Eastwood and best supporting actor for Gene Hackman, thank you guys great reaction👍👍👍
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a masterpiece. Every shot in that movie is a painting. One of my favorite movies! Highly recommend it.
I love Unforgiven as well! You can clearly see how inspired he was of his mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel.
If you think this movie is slow get ready for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, but it's not a negative thing. I think the slow pacing adds a lot to the movie.
Other great Clint Eastwood movies (Beside Gran Torino) are: The Dollars Trilogy, Dirty Harry, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Where Eagles Dare, The Eiger Sanction, The Beguiled, Escape From Alcatraz, Million Dollar Baby, Heartbreak Ridge, The Mule, Blood Work and Kelly's Heroes
Not only the greatest western, but one of the greatest movies ever.
I love that everyone else's stories are inflated about what they did, particularly English Bob's, but when the kid asks about Bill killing two deputies, Ned asks Bill "wasn't it three?"
Seeing Muny's face and reaction as he hears what happens to his life long, and only friend... then goes and dispenses revenge.... wow!
This film is actually a critique/deconstruction of the entire western genre. Amazing stuff.
My favorite is the classic (The Good Bad & The Ugly)
This is one of my favourites, as well as Tombstone. Mainly because the characters just seem and act like real life people.
Possibly Val kilmer best role too
The bar scene at the end with the ominous music, thunderstorm and "straight talking" dialogue with the protagonists stripped of their graces and pretentions and locked in a death struggle is pure class and one of the best scenes out of all Westerns.
Another great Western that is a little darker is Tombstone and well worth a watch.
High Plains Drifter and the Outlaw Josey Wales are amazing Clint Eastwood westerns he also directed both these movies. the Unforgiven blew me away when i first saw it
The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Others might say you gotta do the whole trilogy but no, you don't. A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More are both good movies but TGTBATU is on a whole new level and stands alone fine. And the score! Best western music ever!
Why wouldn't you recommend the first two movies? They are amazing movies in their own right and to not recommend them is stupid on your part.
After the Dollars trilogy, this may be my favourite western. I love this movie. The acting is impeccable, the story is fantastic, and the direction is flawless. As always: watch Event Horizon.
Im so glad you guys liked it as much as you did. Westerns were the first movies I was introduced to as a kid by my dad because in America its a manly right of passage to be able to watch these as a kid with your father and as a father to pass these movies down to your son, just as Tarantino had with his step dad who took him to see the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Which, is the first movie he said he will show his kids. There's no other genre like that at least here, the closest one in 80s action movie's. My favorite westerns are this one, the Good the Bad the Ugly, Hang em Up High, The Pale Rider, Outlaws Josey Wales, The Searchers, The Hateful Eight
Eastwood’s career was cemented by TV westerns and then spaghetti westerns. The value of watching them is to see the evolution of him as an actor and his character in the western.
Richard Harris looks and sounds so much like his son here.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should be your next western. Similar story about the dying of the old west and myth vs reality
Absolutely
Definitely even if others are trying to claim Unforgiven invented such themes haha.
One of my favorite Westerns from when I was a kid is Silverado (1985). Bone Tomahawk and Burrowers are good horror/westerns. Oh, and also Blazing Saddles!
There's a Samurai version starring Ken Watanabe. It is said that some Westerns were inspired by Samurai movies. Unforgiven was the rare Western that inspired a Samurai movie.
Pale Rider lads, Pale Rider.
Once Upon a Time in the West
Dollars trilogy
True Grit (old and new)
The man who shot Liberty Valance
3:10 to Yuma (new)
All top westerns worth a watch in due course.
Great list!
My second favorite Western behind High Plains Drifter and easily one of my absolute favorite movies.
The Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Lonesome Dove are probably my favorite 3 westerns. I grew up watching westerns with my dad though so their are lots of others I like as well, but those 3 are on a different level.
Your must See and React!!! Dirty Harry (1971) the best picture Cop movie
Great to see you choosing this movie. It's a wonderful swansong in the Western genre for Clint Eastwood, and just a wonderful piece of filmmaking in general. As they say, Gene Hackman has been in a few bad movies, but Gene Hackman has never been bad in a movie! Eastwood is definitely an auteur, and he makes films at his own pace and that are paced in line with his temperament.
The Eastwood spaghetti westerns are a must. "Fistful of Dollars", "A Few Dollars More", and especially "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", must be watched. "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is also mandatory. "Hang 'em High", "High Plains Drifter" - any Eastwood western - or any Eastwood movie. He was the most popular actor on the planet for a reason.
If you guys go to watch another western and think this is what you'll find, you won't. This isn't your typical western. Unforgiven is the film that changed the landscape of westerns, it is the film responsible for the tone and narrative flow of the now modern western. Eastwood is beyond brilliant in this in front of and behind the camera. Not only that but he wrote the music for this film as he does with most of his films. There aren't too many people in the industry that are as brilliant as Mr. Clint Eastwood. To say he's a legend in cinema falls short, the man is a God.
"Unforgiven" is great. "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is the best western of all time!
Couldn't agree more! Nothing else comes close for me.
@@donwilk9196 There are several John Ford and Howard Hawks western I would put right there along with it, along others, but it is top stuff indeed. To be honest, tough, from Leone I always favoured Once Upon a Time In The West.
@@Dacre1000 For sure ...There's definitely great ones up there. For me its as Iconic as it gets not just in the western genre but film period.
I am not a western fan at all, but man, I really loved this movie.
The Gryffindor line, OMG. Thank you for that!!!!
Favorite westerns The Outlaw Josey Wales, Tombstone , Lonesome Dove,and The Good ole boys. Favorite westerns in modern times, All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old men and He'll or High Water.
I love this film. You should really check out Bone Tomahawk with Kurt Russell.
Plant those seeds!
3:10 to Yuma (the 2007 one with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale) is an excellent Western that you should react to.
Two Westerns of fairly recent vintage that I like are "Silverado" and "Open Range".
I'm not sure what my favourite western is, but this is one of them.
Others include the Dollars trilogy (directed by Sergio Leone), "Once upon a time in the west" (also Leone) and "The Outlaw Jose Wales" (directed by Eastwood).
There is also John Wayne's last movie, "The shootist"
Lastly, Sergio Leone did a spoof if his own westerns, called "My name is nobody", starring Terrence Hill (Known also for the "Trinity" spoof westerns).
I haven't seen this movie before, loved it!
Clint is a legend, isn't he.
He definitely left his mark......
And that mark is most likely a boot print
on the last ass he kicked.
Also..I hope Titanic is in this list.
Thanks gents!
Clint Eastwood starring in Spaghetti Westen trilogy Afew Dollars More, A fistful of Dollars and The Good The Bad and The Ugly.
Unforgiven is a true Western Masterpiece . Love to see you guys watch a Sam Peckinpaugh film like " The Wild Bunch " from 1969.
I thought didn't liked westerns until i saw Clint Eastwood's westerns. You must do the dollar trilogy, iconic films! Or maybe a Clint Eastwood marathon? Like Gran Torino, Changeling, Mystic River, High Plain Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Sully, Flags of our Fathers... So many great films!
